rouge was dressed for a warm spring day and payed a visit to the small towns museum. though there wasn't much to be seen there was one object that had caught her eye. The stone of ages. she read a description. this gem was discovered 80 years ago in a ancient ruin and named stone of ages by its discoverers. Although this gem resembles a chaos emerald it is believed to have been used as a decoy to trick would be thief. rouge stopped reading and started to take mental notes of the lay out of the building and its security. and noticed how poor it was. part of her felt like this was some sort of trap but if it wasn't and she waited someone else would be able to steal that gem long before her. that night she spent a good hour looking around the area for any hidden cops waiting in dark. being a bat they couldn't possibly hide well enough from her but found nothing. a small town like this couldn't have had more then 10 or 12 to start with. fighting her unease she made her way into the museum and past each alarm and cameras getting to the case her gem was in she used a class cutter and reached in to pick up her prize. and admired its blue shine. within seconds she felt odd as it seemed to be getting bigger and heavier. in only seconds she was a head shorter then when she picked the stone up. quickly she read the description. decoy to trick thief's while it can be given without effect when stolen the gem would case would be thief's to regress to infancy as discovered during the night it was recovered. farther tests showed while most people would return to normal after giving back the stone to its current owner anyone who stole in the past wouldn't reverted until All they have stolen was returned. rouge turned white at the thought. she didn't even remember who she stole half her gems from when she felt a draft. looking down she saw her clothes had completely changed she was barely half the height of the display case her clothes now a yellow dress and boots turned into sneakers. she could even feel her underwear growing thicker as they became training pants. she started to panic. knuckles fox friend could fix this. she just had to get out of here. she eyed the exits. the air ducts were the fastest way out at her new size she'd be able to get through even easier then before but her wings were shrinking with her and was unsure she could get that high with the gem weighting her down. suddenly she yawned the gems weight slowly pulled her to the ground. she was so small her dress had fallen off unfolding and spreading across the floor becoming a fuzzy blanket her sneakers little more then fabric baby booties and her once silk underwear a thick crinkly diaper. she laid down her eye lids becoming heavy. it was way past a bats bedtime let alone a babies. she'd just take a nap quickly before making her escape.
